Octopus part three

The Octopus modules are compact, body-worn displays that support a range of possible interactions. Several devices -- approx. 5 to 15 -- are affixed to a person, using magnetic snaps that can be attached and rearranged on a reconfigurable garment substrate.

Each palm-sized device has a 20-LED display and a flash-programmable microcontroller. Each has its own rechargeable battery, so the garment need not carry power or data wires. The devices communicate with each other and detect movement.
